Software development companies, and the IT industry as a whole, deal with the cutting-edge technologies and computational powers to bring more comfort into the users’ lives and solve the most complicated problems. They deal with the future, as overblown as it may sound. But how many IT companies care about the future?

Even the greenest and most efficient industries leave a carbon footprint and can waste natural resources through inefficient processes and exploitation of the workforce. You might wonder - software development isn’t exactly coal mining and not even close to plastic production of Coca Cola, just how much damage to the environment and public health can a couple of developers and servers do?

Having a document that sets ambitious and necessary goals is the first step, and comprehending and implementing such a policy into everyday practices and rewiring the way business gets done – that’s where changes happen.

Prepare for the future

A software development company like Tentacle solutions needs the best hardware for their developers, office space and office supplies, managers need to take business trips, and all of it leaves a carbon footprint.

Having a document that sets ambitious and necessary goals is the first step, and comprehending and implementing such a policy into everyday practices and rewiring the way business gets done – that’s where changes happen.
